    Football thread!!!!!!!!!!!!

    We need to give him more time to find his feet, especially given current events at the club. Our first 11 are a decent team, but we are missing 4 of those - Adams, Wood, Clarke and Baker, and we just do not have the squad strength to replace then adequately. This is pushing him into making...

    When will Jennings and Sheff finally get dropped??????

    Yes, saw that, for a good 15-20 minutes. I think the other one was Danny Philiskirk, but not sure as I have never seen him before!!

    Portsmouth Match thread

    Should be no problem with the weather at the game today. I am 40 miles along the coast and it is just wet and misty. All the snow is further north, so if you can make it south of the M4 you will be fine. Going for a close win today, something like 2-1. About to leave for the game.

    Tomorrow

    I'm with you on that! After tomorrow, I hoped to get up to Cov once more this season - that now looks uncertain at best, so there is just a chance that tomorrow is the last time I will see the Sky Blues play! Rather like having an old and frail relative come to stay - forget any history, put...

    pompey away

    Just got my ticket for Pompey. The last away game I can get to this season. I enjoy the away games so much more than the home ones - it is not just the results and performances on the pitch, but also the great atmosphere from the travelling SBA.

    Ratings vs Bournemouth

    Adams and Dickinson are like chalk and cheese - if we could combine Adam's offensive skills with Dickinson's no-nonsense defending, we would have a decent left-back. I like Adams a lot, but I have not yet managed to forget how he was pulled apart in the first half at MK Dons by a fast direct winger.

    Ratings vs Bournemouth

    I agree that he is no Danny Fox but - apart from one atrocious back header which should have resulted in a goal for Tubbs - he defended solidly enough. He may not offer too much going forward, but he is difficult to get past. To his credit, all this was after he was knocked flat in the first...

    Squad for Saturday

    More important to me than whether one or two players are swopped in/out is that we stay with the same 4-5-1 formation. We look more dangerous and more solid with 4-5-1 than 4-4-2 and whether we are playing home or away is irrelevant. Carsley and some players have commented in recent days that...

    Pitch invasion ?

    I was there and remember it well. Probably a 1000+ fans on the pitch. Seemed funny whilst the Wolves fans were in retreat, but then it all turned round and the City fans were chased back down to the South Bank. I was only a kid, did not join in, just watched and hoped that it would all stay a...

    Dorset Sky Blues?

    I am interested in your suggestion Lee. I live in Swanage. I sometimes travel up with skyblueindorset - he may be from the depths of north Dorset, but we meet up at the Merley roundabout outside Poole, which is also on or close to the route from Weymouth. Can leave cars in the lay-bys there all...

    Dorset/Bournemouth based Sky Blues driving up for JPT game at the Ricoh

    I'm in Swanage and drive through Poole on the way up to A31 etc. But I can't get off work so not going to JPT match - should be going to Yeovil match a few days later though!

    Oldham matchday thread!!

    I'm glad I'm not the only one being driven mad by him!!! It's Peter Bodak, winger from the 70s or 80s. He just does not know when to be quiet and leave it to the professionals!!

    Win or lose, the JPT will help us get promoted

    After last night's success in the JPT against Preston, we now face a two-leg home-and-away semi-final followed hopefully by a Wembley final. Which is exactly what we will face if we finish in the play-off positions - what better preparation could we have? Our success in the JPT - assuming we...

    What an awesome day out! So proud to be sky blue!

    It was awesome to be part of the SBA today and finally this season I have seen us win a game (only been to 4 previous games, as struggling to find the cash and time this year). Our support was immense. Comparing our play today with the Stevenage defeat I saw early in the season, you would not...

    McG not booked according to CWR - hope not as I want to see him at MK Dons on Saturday. What a comeback!!!!

    Any news on the rent

    The optimistic part of me still thinks that SISU are going to turn all Santa-like and deliver us a rent deal and a McGoldrick deal on Christmas Day. Having managed down our expectations to such low levels, they may even hope to become popular by doing so!

    If/when we lose McGoldrick...

    How about Emile Sinclair, who looked impressive - and scored both goals - for Posh in the 2-2 draw at the Ricoh last season. (Sorry to bring up such a painful memory as that match for me was the missed opportunity that sent us spiralling down to div 1). He is on Posh's transfer list and on loan...

    Coventry vs Scunthorpe Match Thread

    It is Ian Gibson. He was a wonderful creative midfield player in the last 60s, but Yes he is a little irritating!

    Leyton Orient Match Thread

    Listening on Player. Tense stuff, as we seem vulnerable defensively, especially at set pieces. Not helped by C&W commentators, who sound very nervy whenever Orient attack. As an irrelevant aside, 8 out of 11 Div One games currently led by the away team - there do seem to be an awful lot of away...

    Another day out in London tomorrow.

    I was also at the cup game there in 1973. A great day out, we had a bit of swagger about us then - long since gone unfortunately! I have little idea who scored our goals, but Brian Alderson's name is lodged somewhere deep in my rather vague memory. Went back that way last February with my son...
